Devastated by her friend’s death, Starr then finds herself to thrust into the spotlight, as she was there when Khalil was killed.
This story follows Starr Carter, played by Amanda Stenberg, who walks between two worlds: the poor, black neighborhood where she lives, and the rich, mostly white-populated school that she attends.
With her community protesting the killing of another unarmed black teenager at the hands of the police, Starr must find her voice and speak out for everyone who’s “at the bottom.”
